Download or read book Advanced District Heating and Cooling DHC Systems written by Robin Wiltshire and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced District Heating and Cooling (DHC) Systems presents the latest information on the topic, providing valuable information on the distribution of centrally generated heat or cold energy to buildings, usually in the form of space heating, cooling, and hot water. As DHC systems are more efficient and less polluting than individual domestic or commercial heating and cooling systems, the book provides an introduction to DHC, including its potential contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, then reviews thermal energy generation for DHC, including fossil fuel-based technologies, those based on renewables, and surplus heat valorization. Final sections address methods to improve the efficiency of DHC. Gives a comprehensive overview of DHC systems and the technologies and energy resources utilized within these systems Analyzes the various methods used for harnessing energy to apply to DHC systems Ideal resource for those interested in district cooling, teleheating, heat networks, distributed heating, thermal energy, cogeneration, combined heat and power, and CHP Reviews the application of DHC systems in the field, including both the business model side and the planning needed to implement these systems

Download or read book Proposed National District Heating and Cooling Program Strategy written by and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document outlines a proposed coordinated strategy for the development and implementation of a National District Heating and Cooling (DHC) program. The Department of Energy (DOE) seeks public comments and suggestions regarding this document, and will consider them in the preparation of a final strategy for the development and implementation of the national program. The following three areas are of particular interest to the Department in establishing an effective plan: (1) Utility of DHC as a community energy option: This draft document briefly describes the technology of DHC as a community energy option. The strategy document outlines the utility of DHC systems in terms of scarce fuel savings, and benefits in the environmental, social, and urban development areas for communities. DOE seeks comments and suggestions regarding the correctness and completeness of the approaches to achieve these benefits. (2) Benefits of and Barriers to Adoption of DHC: This draft document identifies and discusses the benefits of successful DHC systems in the United States. The full potential of these benefits cannot be realized, however, without addessing, and in come cases alleviating as appropriate, barriers to DHC development. Therefore, this draft document also indentifies and discusses those barriers delaying or preventing the achievement of the full potential of DHC systems at the present time. DOE seeks comments and suggestions regarding the accuracy of the identification of both benefits and barriers, the existence of others not identified in the text, and their ranking in order of significance. (3) Acceleration of DHC Adoption: This draft document describes the program elements and activities that are perceived to be necessary to a national DHC implementation effort. The proposed program strategy has been designed to accelerate the adoption and expansion of DHC systems nationally and to address, where appropriate, the currently perceived barriers to the DHC development. The proposed strategy combines activities involving both the private and public sectors at the local, state, and Federal levels. DOE seeks comments and suggestions regarding the conceptual correctness of the strategy, its appropriateness, and the appropriate roles of Federal, state and local governments in helping to implement DHC installations and alleviating existing barriers.

This book was released on 1987 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), under sponsorship of the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Buildings and Community Systems, has embarked upon a comprehensive, long-range program to develop high-performance advanced energy transmission fluids for use in district heating and cooling (DHC) systems. ANL has the lead technical role in this DOE program. These advanced fluids will substantially reduce flow frictional losses and enhance energy transfer. In system enhancement scoping studies conducted by ANL, the fluids yielded potentially significant upfront capital equipment cost reductions by allowing the use of smaller pipes, pumps, heat exchangers, and storage tanks as well as reductions in operational costs. This report presents the first-phase results of assessment of impact of the advanced fluids on DHC systems. Future reports will focus on assessment of impact on hardware performance, capital eqiupment, and operation costs. 9 refs., 30 figs., 2 tab.

Download or read book District Heating and Cooling Networks written by Antonio Colmenar Santos and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional thermal power generating plants reject a large amount of energy every year. If this rejected heat were to be used through district heating networks, given prior energy valorisation, there would be a noticeable decrease in the amount of fossil fuels imported for heating. As a consequence, benefits would be experienced in the form of an increase in energy efficiency, an improvement in energy security, and a minimisation of emitted greenhouse gases. Given that heat demand is not expected to decrease significantly in the medium term, district heating networks show the greatest potential for the development of cogeneration. Due to their cost competitiveness, flexibility in terms of the ability to use renewable energy resources (such as geothermal or solar thermal) and fossil fuels (more specifically the residual heat from combustion), and the fact that, in some cases, losses to a country/region’s energy balance can be easily integrated into district heating networks (which would not be the case in a “fully electric” future), district heating (and cooling) networks and cogeneration could become a key element for a future with greater energy security, while being more sustainable, if appropriate measures were implemented. This book therefore seeks to propose an energy strategy for a number of cities/regions/countries by proposing appropriate measures supported by detailed case studies.

Download or read book Handbook of Low Temperature District Heating written by Roberto Garay-Martinez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the history and evolution of district heating networks, with a focus on current and future issues of the district heating sector. Novel developments in the field of low temperature district heating are studied, limitations for safe operation and avoidance of bacteria are considered, and the associated improved performance of the system with fewer network losses is presented. This book showcases how the evolution of district heating networks is linked to the increased use of renewables and de-carbonized heat sources with specific focus to waste heat streams and solar energy systems. Considering the novelty of these technologies, technological developments and funding schemes for these investments are still immature to some extent. For that reason, a comprehensive review of the main aspects of energy planning as well as district heating economics and financing schemes for large-scale investments in renewable energy systems for district energy systems is performed. In the light of digitalization, networks are increasingly monitored, allowing for a drastic change in the approach for network operation. This book also explores the increased digitization and monitoring of networks and how this impacts network operation. This book is of interest to engineers, academics and officials interested in energy systems, presenting readers with the key concepts and tools to adapt to the evolution of district heating into an integrated, digitized and higher performing system.
